Why It Matters

Improper neutralization of inputs used in an OS command in the FSx Windows File Server volume mounting component in Amazon ECS Agent on Windows before version 1.103.0 might allow a remote authenticated threat actor to execute shell commands with SYSTEM privileges on the underlying host via a specially crafted username field in an ECS task definition. This issue requires permissions to register ECS task definitions or write to the Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store credentials used by the FSx volume configuration. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.103.0.

Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)

SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.

Matched command-injection (CWE-78)

Exposure

  1. Identify installations of the affected product and compare versions with the advisory.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A weakness class does not establish local exposure. · Rule command-injection

Exploitation evidence

  1. Review command interpreters spawned by the affected service or application.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Unexpected process lineage can support command-injection hunting. · Rule command-injection

Response

  1. Confirm the vendor mitigation or fixed version on affected assets.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · Inventory checks can verify remediation. · Rule command-injection
